Publisher Description
They had loved so passionately, and then their marriage ended. Will a dangerous assignment give them a second chance or bring a permanent end to their love and lives?
Gayle Chambers always dreamed of studying alien life. But now that she’s on a sand-blasted desert planet, the dream seems more like a nightmare. Dangerous, corrupt officials would just as soon see her dead as allow her research come to light. If that’s not bad enough, her bodyguard turns out to be her ex-husband who broke her heart and trust when he chose Cyborg Force over her. She’s never forgotten or forgiven the rejection. Now she’s stuck with him while she investigates the secrets of an alien intelligence. Will she be able to complete her mission or will her life and heart come under siege?
As a young man, Axel Vander had wanted to become a cyborg and save the world. Then he met and married the love of his life, the brilliant, ambitious Dr. Gayle Chambers. He never fathomed joining C-Force would destroy their marriage. He’d only wanted to become a husband she could proud of. Instead she’d walked out, divorcing him and shattering his heart. He’s never gotten over the betrayal, but he’ll perform his duty and keep her safe. But how will he protect his wounded heart?
Braving fierce dust storms and deadly government machinations, they’ll race against the clock to save an alien intelligence. But can Axel and Gayle regain the love they once had before time runs out? Gale Force is a heart-tugging, steamy, suspenseful book in the Cyborg Force science fiction romance series.
If you believe good should triumph over evil, love conquers all, and everyone deserves an HEA, then you’ll fall in love with Cara Bristol’s futuristic romance.

Hale Force
Great story-that keeps you interested the whole time.
“My emotions had been flash-frozen - and now they were thawing out.”
I haven’t read book one but I was easily able to pick up on what I missed. This is book two of the series and while the couple get their HEA the overall arc of the story is ongoing. There was a lot to like. The basic ongoing plot about a planet with an alien species unlike any I’ve ever even imagined and the political intrigue regarding whether humans should stay or go is very interesting and enjoyable. I really loved the two main characters, cyborg Axel and his astrobiologist ex-wife, Gayle. They divorced nineteen years earlier and are very much an older couple. Both still clearly in love with each other, they were wonderful together and I really wanted them to work things out. This is actually were my biggest disappointment came from. This is a romance novel but the love story was mostly secondary. It read more like a sci-fi novel with their relationship an add-on instead of the main focus. The situation between Axel and Gayle was resolved easily and too quickly, barely half way through the book. And once they reconnected the romance part was pretty much set aside for the reminder of the story. Too bad as I felt there could have been a lot more to their story.
The epilogue isn’t really an epilogue. It’s the beginning of the next book, which to me is a big cheat. I actually dislike it when the epilogue of a book has nothing to do with the couple I’ve just finished reading about. Don’t call it an epilogue. Call it what it is, a sneak peek or introduction to another book. That being said, Tempest and Bane seem to have the potential to be an exciting and, hopefully, intriguing story with a couple that I’m betting are going to have a lot of sparks between them! I can’t wait to find out.
Fantastic!
Gayle is an Astrobiologist being sent to the planet of Sajave to prove or disprove that the sand on the planet is a living organism. She is very excited, until she finds out that her bodyguard is her ex husband Axel.
Axel always wanted to join C-force and become a cyborg. He just didn’t realize it would cost him his marriage. When he is assigned to be her bodyguard is isn’t happy about it but vows to keep her safe.
But when Gayle does manage to communicate with the sand and prove it is an intelligent being, they unleash deadly forces intent on suppressing the information and eliminating them!
This is the second book in the series and is every bit as exciting as the first!.
